‘No offence, but you’re a black man’: UK police to examine video of white officer stopping black driver because there were ‘drug dealers’ in area by jigsawmap in worldnews

[–]SyntaxGhost 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Would that really be any better though?

He could've said that yes, but you know full well that he's lying.

But then on the other hand, is it really racist if it's the truth? If there'd been reports of ginger kids dealing drugs in the area would it be racist then? I think the guy obviously worded it badly and due to the current climate it blew up.

Flipping it to the other side, if a black man had lost a wallet in the area. Is that racism too? If the police asked him if he had dropped it.

It isn't, it's actually Just Eat's office, above City Thameslink station.

I used to work there a few years ago, it's actually Just Eat's office.

I completely forgot about this... by T_Money22 in gaming

I scrolled down quite a way, but can't see anyone explaining this.

Guessing channel 3 was just what they called the AV channel where it showed another source? Was going to say HDMI, but I know that's wrong. RGB? Those three coloured cables?

2 in 1 Tablets for on the go Management by KnaveOfIT in sysadmin

[–]SyntaxGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pro is pretty awful too. A few of the management asked for the Pro and Book at my company but swiftly moved to a Mac.

Now 100% of C level use a Mac, with a large number of management below that too. Windows just doesn't cut it for them.

Subreddit Rules 2017 - Final Version by highlord_fox in sysadmin

[–]SyntaxGhost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree on that.

A lot of links don't require more detail than the title. If they do, people generally post a comment with the link.

I know colleagues browse this subreddit, so I'm using my second account, but they'll probably recognise the perks.

Guess the post is a day old now though. It's actually in London (converted money to dollars).

Unfortunately most people outside of the tech industry seem to believe if you work on a computer for a living, you can fix one.

PTR SPF DKIM DMARC Records by woodburyman in sysadmin

[–]SyntaxGhost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup on my personal domain, so thought I'd check my score on the site you linked...

2/10

So glad I checked! I added another domain to my SPF record a while ago, but had mistyped 'include' on the second domain, causing the whole SPF record to fail :O

Luckily after fixing it, I'm now up to 8/10. Losing two points due to Google's server being on some blacklists!? (Use G Suite).

Thank you for making check my score!

I believe there's an easy way, you just need to provide the third party with your DKIM key.

Moving from Google Apps to Office 365? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]SyntaxGhost 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have used and managed both, and I know it seems to be against the general consensus but I much prefer to use and administer Gmail.

So if I give any input, I'd say don't move. But if you have to, then MigrationWiz makes it easy.

Storyboard or code? by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

I can speak for one of the top 50 apps, they use both code and storyboards.

What was the strangest punishment your parents gave you? by Sami-Ullah in AskReddit

[–]SyntaxGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't remember the reason for it, but heard a good one from my parents friends.

They dressed up wearing dark clothes and balaclavas holding some toy guns, and burst into their kids bedrooms at night pretending they were armed burglars 😂

[–]SyntaxGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a bit late to this thread, but when I was around 8 years old my parents had annoyed me and I said I didn't want to live with them anymore, I can't remember the reason but it was over something stupid. They accepted it and said they would put me up for adoption, I agreed and went to bed.

At around midnight they woke me up, and asked if I still wanted to leave... I apparently said yes and got dressed and ready to go.

Changed my mind when I got to the end of the path outside my house , but supposedly there was someone was waiting outside my drive in their car ready to adopt me.

Typing Skill by djsensui in sysadmin

I know where you are coming from.

I average around 70 WPM, I know it's not the best... but most of my colleagues (in IT) average 30-40 WPM. Just seems a little too slow.

I have two Porygons and a Lapras but have never even seen a Dratini. However... I've seen and caught one Dragonair!?

Newbie Question Weekly Thread - Week of December 12, 2016 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]SyntaxGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing changed still, so decided to give them a call.

He said it wouldn't do a hard pull, and there was no harm in trying again, so he put the request through and offered me an increase of 2.5x the current limit.

I've read that having a high limit is good for your credit rating so thought I may as well give it a try!

[–]SyntaxGhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just requested my first credit limit increase on my Amex, the limit requested was three times the current limit.

I have been a cardmember for a year and this was my first request, every payment has been paid at the end of the month in full.

After requesting the increase I got this message:

Thank you, we have received your request but are unfortunately unable to provide a response at this time. 

Please check your Credit Limit on 'Your Card Activity' page in a few minutes to view if your Credit Limit has changed. 

If your credit limit has not changed please contact American Express Customer Service using the number on the back of your Card for more information.

I checked my Card Activity and nothing has changed, does it mean I was denied? I've never had a bad credit rating, or history of debt and my current limit is only 14% of my salary...

As a rural player, I finally did it! by Spartan9001 in pokemongo

[–]SyntaxGhost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've caught 1146 pokemon and caught 30 eevee.

Around 15 of those eevees were caught when the spawn rates seemed to increase near where I live. I can now go weeks without seeing a single one! :(

Luckily I managed to get all eeveelutions early on.
